Stevenson Writes Interestingly of the Disarmament Conference in Aetlon. % . ' # I attended the open plenary session of this great conference December the 10th, when the "Four Power Treaty" and Chinese Agreement were announced. The audience was historic,?Savants, statesmen, Publicists, Practical Politicians and Visionary Theorists from all over this country, and all countries in the world were ther Judge Hughes presided, and announced at the opening that the resolution -* ~-J "Morvo the rishts Of lO rt)?i?cv;i auu yicgv... ?? China had been agreed on in the Committee of the Whole, that Is it had been , fully discussed in committee, he assumed that no discussion was required now. So he proceeded to put the question first announcing that the "United States asssents" and then Belgium was called and she assented by voting "aye" followed by Great Britain, China, France, Italy, Japan, and Netherlands, etc. That being adopted, Senator Lodge waa called , jn ov the Chairman to announce "The Four Power Treaty" relative to the Pacific. This he did by reading the treaty as proposed, and it likewise was assented to without debate. Then Senator Lodge was recognized to speak on it The Members of Congress and the Senate present were struck with this scheme,?vote first and then have the oratory, It has two advan* tages, (1) no matter bow foolish the proponent of the measure is, he can't kill bis bill or measure, Decautse it has already been adopted, (2) those , who don't want to speak or hear the other man speak can go to dinner, and let the orator orate. After Lodge, Arthur J. Balfour, head of the British delegation, Bpoke, and as he always does, be spoke well, but deliberately, searching for the right word, refusing to proceed until it camejto his mind, and always speaking clearly and sens! bly. Then M. Viavianl of the French delegation speaks. He la a torrent o eloquence, he speaks in French, hf sweeps along without hesitation, with expressive face and gestures, and an * earnestness that must vitalize and throw a French audience into a paroxysm <JT enthusiasm. Then Japan is heard through Prince Tokugawa, who speaks in English briefly, and in a businesslike vein, resembling in his method of statement the British speakers. Does the insular position of these great nations affect their methods of thought and expression? Then in order the spokesmen of the other haoH anH thA ' nlpnn? licit jv/uo ai v UVM4 w r session adjourns. Let's take a glance at the picture,? the table Is practically a hollow square, around the outside of which are the members of the delegations > and their personal Interpreters. Inside the square are the four stenographers, the Marshall and the official Interpreter. He Is the wonder of the session. Mr. Lodge makes a long t speech in Cape Cod English and twang the interpreter takes it down in shorthand, and immediately, when the Senator finishes, he gets up and reads it off in French as rapidly as delivered by Lodge, minus the twang. Mr. Balfour follows in English, In most stately periods,?the Interpreter reads it from his shorthand notes into French at once. Then Viviani makes a speech with all the vigor and action and rapidly of Solicitor Monroe Spears, when hot after a man for murder, and I the interpreter having taken it down in French this time, gets up and reads it into English, (everybody can understand either French or English). He is a wonder, not so much that he can speak French, English and Italian, etc ( eoually well, but that he can take J AWL ? CVinnAU en/vAnk I % aK/vvtVon/l UUVNII U. r I CUVll o^ccuu tu ouui tuauu. and immediately read It off in English. But let us look at the conference? ? Huehes 3lts at the head of the table with Root Lodge and Underwood on his right, next to them are the French delegation, the leading men on it were Friend and Vivian!. Brland, a medium sized man with a black mo"Sfache and a beautiful melodious voice in speaking, and strikingly resembles Ed DeSohamps, Editor of the OafTney Ledger. Viviani is large for a Frenchman. rather florid complexion, and not tinlike Monroe Spears in appearance and movements. M. Jusserand, French Ambassodar, sits with the delegation, small, alert and a typical Frenchman. Going on to the right we reach the Japanese delegation. Admiral Kato is the leading man, but he doesn't speak English. He has an interpreter by his side, and has what the boys call a good "poker face" there beine no show of emotion in his face. He is thin, almost to amaciation, and looks frail and worn, and latterly has been confined to his bed with a case of breakdown. Prince Tokugawo is Leon C. Palmer, 8. S.

Mrs. Duncan served delightful refreshments which greatly pleased the gentlemen present. The Board organized by electing the following officers: Chairman, Mr. R. B. Laney; Secretary, Mr. W.

Next to the Japanese are the Chinese. Mr. Sze, rather tall, regular features, and splendidly dressed, with him was Mr. Wellington Koo, who was very much like Mr. Sze to the writer, but much better looking and more tastily dressed than the Japanese. Then were the representatP f of Portugal (they speak English well), Netherland comes next, and Belgium next. The Belgians are very handsome men, so are the Italians, who come next. Then the handsome representative of India, with white turban, regular features, square shoulders, bronze complexion, easily one of the striking figures in the conference. He is wtth tihe British Empire delegates, which we have reached in going around the table. Then we come to Sir John Salmon of New Zealand, George Pearce of Australia, and Sir Robert Borden of C'ana- j da, Lord Lee of England, Sir Auck'end Geddes, and next to Judge Hughes j on his left Right Honorable Arthur James Balfour. The United States delegation is on the right of Judge Hughes, that of Great Britain is on the left, and the Anglosaxon is a race to be proud of, when you put them down with the other races. The enthusiasm which greets every announcement of progress, coming from the most representative audience ever assembled to witness deliberations of a body like this (in fact the first such body that ha? had open sessons), shows the overwhelming desire of the world for an assurance of peace. While Woodrow Wilson didn't get all he desired, he started something which the people of the world have set their hearts upon. W. F. STEVENSON. GRAVES III ST.

With a good strong pressui to aid them the firemen were able t put the fire out, using very little watei thereby causing very little damage t the part of the house not burned. The children in the neighborhoo were very much excited over the fir for the reason that they had been tol by & Ouija Board, lert by Santa Clau at Christmas time, that Mr. Harrall' house would catch on Are on Friday Dec. 30th at 3 o'clock and they wer much relieved when Friday pasae with no fire.

Among the mat " ters to be taken up is the election o ** officers. It is important for the IK r of the Club which is the oldest clut '#? * ? of its kind In the state, that propei 8 officers be elected to keep it going ai well as it is today. Another mattei 8 to be discussed is whether or not t( install a wireless telephone in th< Club rooms. The secretary, Mr. W E. Hurt, Jr., is very enthusiastic or this subject. He has been in toucl with a Mr. Brown of Sumter who ha? >r agreed to be present at the meeting Friday night and put before the mean >f hers the figures it will take to instal d the wireless telephone.

Under normal conditions the importance of the home orchard in supple1 mantlng the family food supply is too great to be estimated. Therefore, with the invasion of the cotton boll weevil, ' a menace to the South's money crop t and a pest to remain with us, and the abnormal prices of all foodstuff, .a few - fruit trees should be planted about every homo. Fall and winter month are best for orchard work and there is only one thing that pays better tha: haying a sound knowledge of how to ' care for the orchard, and ihat is to use it and make your'3 the best fruit trees in the county. ; The mere fact ' of a high priced fruit tree having been planted does not insure fruitful r*turns, and if this is not properly cared " for all tHie owner gets for his labor i 1 and money Invested is a case of disappointment. We urge you to begin : at once and either plant a few trees i " or prune, spray, and cultivate those i that you already have, giving these a < v ? J Itur UJLUVU VC| ttuu UUI^3 iCOUIW. The shortage of good trees and vines > with the prevailing high prices of fruit should be accepted as an objec lesson and tlhe combination ought to encourage the planting of a few fruit c trees on every farm and better atten1 tion given to the old orchard. If) you have a home orchard, or even scattered plantings of a few fruit trees wor1 thy of attention begin at once to prune spray, worm and cultivate; otherwise, 1 arrange to plant one-fourth acre (approximately 30 trees and vines). At this time, trees and vines enought to ' plant one-fourth acrp, whidh is enough 1 to supply the average family will cost between 110.00 and $15.00. You can't afford to neglect your orchard as the ' fruit tree, not unlike man, will grow 1 sick if neglected. In conjunction with the county agents thorughout the State a cam' paign for the winter pruning, spraying ' and related orchard work is already on in the various counties. The Horticultural Specialists of the Extensio j Service, Clemson College, S. C., have arranged and are now carrying out a schedule by which to spend ong to I three days with each oounty agent. r If you are interested in growing fruit either on a small or large scale and desire Information, write, phone or ask your county agent or banker for } information concerning "Orchard f Week" and arrange to attend some of me neia demonstrations in rrunir and spraying that will be given In the various orchards over the county during the week designated as "Orchard 1 Week."

Program Adopted by Taxpayer' aoclatlon. At a meettlng of the Taxpayc South Carolina on December 1921, a program was adopted pi [ng for the following new sourc revenue for State purposes: a line tax, an occupation tax, an li tance tax, an increase in the cor lion license tax, an income tax c sxceed 10 per cent of the total Fe Ax assessed against each tax( ind a luxury tax. In order to reduce the laxei visible property which Is now al Dver-burdened with taxes, it wi accessary to secure revenue ather sources. The business men of this have given this matter very cj md mature consMeratlon, and r< oiend to the General Assembly passage of the above tax laws, i will reduce the State levy fro per cent to 50 per cent.

This more has been who under advisement for sometime and, had it not been that delay was caused I w! by other plans which were proposed, to all this nursery would have been located dlate this fall. The nurseryman Interested Is lfr. W. 'P. Bohlender of the Sprlnc Hill d In nurseries, a large and most favorably known nursery at Tippecanoe City, Ohio. This Is the old home town of 0 wo Mr- Loran A. jter? tod it vu through nchee his Influence that Mr. Boblender came r Du- bere in September and investigated e riv- this territory. Conditions prevented a Coun- decision at that time bat a number of irfleld onr citlsens were favorably Impressed with Mr. Boblender and urged that he oman locate a nursery here. While here ether be told a car of stock in the county v cakf and, at the request of a number of our four people, Mr. Kerr persuaded him to come again as soon as he shipped this n of car. The location of the nursery is a and the result And the appearance of ,pron, the stock he shipped is a further en* chin, couragement to the belief that his > and nursery here will be quite a benefit entity to the community. ' > ie of- Sereral persons were conoerned in lyone the securing of this enterprise and ption. used their influence to that end; hut 1 cas? the organisation was finally accomlemed pHshed by 'the co-operation of C.

W. Moore, vestl- Ohio State Horticulturist, to attend iddle the State Peach Convention hers this bod- fall and Investigated our territory. n the Mr. Moore's favorable report had great froir influence in determining Mr. Bohleni as der to return to Cheraw and, consider c the nursery proposition. And some- , I fell thing even more important promises op of to develop from Mr. Moore's visit He come himself became greatly interested and Impressed with the poesibil.Ues of iridxe our section and it seems that there ft Is a very good chance of Inducing {ro him to oome to Cheraw. A few of our business men, interested In peach orchards and vineyards, p Af have decided to take the risk of guaranteeing Mr. Moore's salary provided contracts can be made with orchard irs of owners for Mr. Moore's services so 14th, as to cover a part of his salary. If rovifl- this can be done quickly, a proposes of tion will be made to Mr. Moore, gaso- It la thought unwise to offer Mr. iherl- Moore less than a tlirss year contract pora- and the plan to cover a part of his tot to ealary is to secure contracts with deral those who are putting out orchards layer, and vineyards, providing for Inspection and advisory supervision at a , 0D moderate charge per acre per year ready for three years. , 11 be As It la of great Importanoe that from trees and vines have proper attention from the time of planting, It Is hoped State t^t the arrangement proposed can ireful Bad* soon. Mr. Kerr hopes to icom- have the matter determined soon and r the 't seems that those who will be needvhlch ,n? advice and help would be glad of m 40 this opportunity to secure the services npos- of a man so splendidly qualified as mlto. I Moore, and thoee who heard him at sure8 the Peach Convention gained conflux dence in hit ability and his love of their work. en Mr. Bohlender unqualifiedly roaches for Mr. Moore's ability and has agreed to pay his share of Us salary if the orchard men show that they been really want sac hhelp by asking for prov- contracts. After carefully going into the details of this proposition, Mr. Reld and Mr. Waddlll are enthusias, tic and are dotng all that they can to i co- acquaint the growers with the fac 1 as which they hare secured. We wish for this new enterprise all the success it is due and we trust our het. peach growers will get behind the proposition to bar* Mr. Moors locate here. i the Married from Miss Nannie Wright and Mr. James veral Henry Streater, both of Chesterfield, were married at the Baptist parsonage here by Rev.
